Last time, Keith & Andy geeked out about Star Wars without talking about the new film; now that Andy has also seen Episode 7, the whole show is a no-spoilers-barred discussion of The Force Awakens. No need to listen at all if you don’t care about Star Wars and don’t want to hear spoilers! Also, did we mention spoilers?
Andy and Keith spend this whole episode talking about Star Wars without actually talking about the new movie, which Andy hasn’t seen yet but Keith has seen twice. Even so, they find plenty to discuss on the subject, having both just watched the “Anti-Cheese” editions of the prequel trilogy.
This week Andy tells Keith about his adventures at Geekonomicon, including creating a design for Convention Fluxx at a panel called Improv Fluxx Design. Keith talks about his new card game-in-progress, which he’s calling Project B, and Andy describes a new 3-player variation of Hearts he recently played. They talk about shooting the moon, which Andy relentlessly tries to do when playing Hearts. They also continue their pre-Episode 7 geeking out, with discussions about droid deities and the “Anti-Cheese” re-edits of the prequels. Somewhere in there they also have a spoiler-y discussion about the final episode of Minority Report.
This week Keith and Andy geek out big time on sci-fi media, including Star Wars (and theories they’ve heard about what will be happening in the new trilogy), Star Trek (and ideas they have for the future series), and super-hero shows on TV (including Agents of Shield, Supergirl, and Jessica Jones). Andy also talks about getting his house painted purple.
This week Keith tells Andy more about his recent trip to New Zealand, including an empty chair memorial, Zorbing, and the mysterious Agrodome. Meanwhile, Andy just got back from WindyCon where he won a fancy award for having the best bathrobe and towel ensemble.
This week Keith and Andy discuss numerous topics, including: production deadlines, mistakes noticed too late, the issue of “calling it,” vintage mix tapes, changing who the murderer was, TV shows where they say they have a plan but don’t, and future technologies that may rob us of the right to nervously pace.
This week Andy tells Keith all about The Annual, a secret game designer gathering, held annually in Las Vegas. They also talk a lot about The Martian, and assorted new TV shows. Spoilers!
This week Keith and Andy discuss a lot of media, including Gotham, Rick and Morty, the rebirth of Heroes, and the new season of The Last Man on Earth. Spoiler-ish!
This week’s topics include Andy’s travels to PAX Prime and Burning Man, Keith’s progress on Phoenix, Andy’s trio of new game projects (Mad Libs, Firefly Fluxx, and Pyramid Arcade), the difference between Venting and Whining (and Bellyaching), and stories about their pets.
At GenCon, Keith and Andy did a panel about their new podcast, during which they recorded this special episode of The Download in front of a live audience. They talk about cons and stuff, and Andy spills the beans about something very exciting coming to the Fluxx universe…
